“I know my value as a person, now, as an artist and I’m owning that. I want to be OK with my gift. I’m not afraid to say no, not afraid to own what belongs to me and what God has given me and share that with others and inspire others. That’s a blessing. I just don’t want to ever forget that’s a part of who I am. There have been times I have forgotten my values and my worth. It’s a different feeling being in this space.”
